Upon double-checking mysettings, it seems that one frontend was pointing to /video/dvds, and the other was pointing to /mnt/hdb1/dvds. While physically they were the same place, they had two different names. Now that both are pointing to /video/dvds, the problem with the database getting overwritten has been resolved, but I have a new problem: I can no longer set unique player commands for each frontend. The settings I make on one frontend take affect on the other. This won't work for me because I have different hardware. On one frontend, I want to play the ac3 sound through my optical output (using the -ac hwac3 flag on mplayer), but I don't want this on my other frontend... How can I have different settings for the different frontends? Thanks, darren
